Augmented Democracy using AI Twins
Conducted world’s first LLM-driven direct democracy experiment with live GenZ voters. We created two AI Variants: (1) Digital Twins and (2) AI Economicus, testing the GPT-4 model to predict complex voting choice, and its ability to act as an objective, data-driven assistant. Participants’ testimonials indicated a high adoption tendency for AI-driven Voting Assistants. Work has been featured by news mainlines such as Indian Express, Economic Times, Times Now, MSN etc.
